Had to look and see where she was from, as I thought it wasn't Appalachia - my area.
But it turns out it wasn't that far off, either.
Turns out she's from the Ozarks, the oldest mountains in N. America.
A really beautiful area I've only seen a couple of times - good trout fishing.
Her voice sounds like a plaintive wind blowing through the hoots and hollers.
Happy 70th birthday to the man born Gary Weinrib.
Geddy's parents were Jews who met while prisoners in a Nazi concentration camp. They fell in love, survived, and ended up in Canada.
Due to his mom's heavy accent, she pronounced "Gary" as "Geddy", which I think is hilariously awesome.

Very cool!
Given Young's "Ohio" and that multiple Devo members went to Kent State (and at least one witnessed the murders), it's one of those collaborations that sounds weird at first but actually makes perfect sense.

I didn't know the Kent St. connection.
I like how they called him "Grandpa Granola." 🤣 🤣
>>"The title “Rust Never Sleeps” is something that Young heard while he was hanging out with none other than the post-punk weirdoes Devo. He first saw the band when they played at the Starwood Club in LA in 1977. The band gave a performance that absolutely floored Young, turning him into a fan for life. Even though he didn’t want to devolve (as Devo preached), Young knew that if he wanted to stay relevant he had to tap the band’s energy and do something new.
While working with the group on the film Human Highway, Young overheard the members of Devo saying the phrase “rust never sleeps,” an old slogan for Rustoleum paint. The phrase stuck with Young, suggesting that complacency is a creeping threat to an aging artist's credibility.
As he put together the tour and the album that followed Young kept the phrase in mind with an intent to shake things up. "
That was AWESOME! Key of F-demented for the win!
I loved all the different accents and instruments. Thanks so much for sharing this.
RIP Mr Robertson

I just watched this and thought I'd share.
It gets bonus points for including the incredible Poly Styrene.
Mr. Lydon is still cranking 'em out.

You know, throat singing is kind of interesting, and I feel like my first time hearing it, came from a relatively unexpected place...
I mean... who would say Sparky, the vocalist, isn't doing that too?

You guys see this ?

Footage is crappy.
Watched a few times until it made sense.
I have been caught in stage rushes before that pitched forward.
This is different. That Domino effect seems like an accurate description. A very unique set of circumstances must occur for this event to take place. First, the participants must be highly distracted, in this case a performance AND their cell phones.
The fact that they are bouncing to music and possibly inebriated would also help.
I told you I gave this some thought,, Concerts are different now.
These people are all equally spaced out, and not very tight.
They are not packed in like shows of the '80s or '90s
Honestly, I thought I would enjoy going to high energy shows less as I aged. The thought of getting beat up in a mosh pit was becoming less appealing. This turned out not to be the case. Everyone is so passive at these events that you can get ignorant and just put your head down in walk up to the stage.
" getting to the fence " was once an admiral feat. Anyone who got there was slick with sweat and lil puffy in the face.
I'm off topic.
Modern concert culture has led to conditions where this domino effect may occur.
The devious part of my mind wonders if this could be recreated, spontaneously, on purpose. Intentionaly.
Understand this would be a crime, although I think it's possible. You catch the right group of people- distracted, and this could be done.
Perhaps an apple store opening, or a pancake breakfast ?
Part of me really hopes this catches on.
My daughter and I watched this video a few times. We figured that crowd is 10 Deep and at least twice as wide. Maybe 200 people?
What would be the record number of people that you could knock over with one well placed hip check ?
